Biography

Johann Wilhelm Wilms (baptized March 30, 1772 in Witzhelden near Solingen, died July 19, 1847 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch-German composer, best known for writing Wien Neerlands Bloed, which served as the Dutch national anthem from 1815 to 1932. After lessons from his father and oldest brother in piano and composition, Wilms studied flute on his own. He moved to Amsterdam in 1791 where he played flute in two orchestras and was soloist in Mozart and Beethoven piano concerti, giving them their Dutch premieres.
